École des Beaux-Arts

Okay kiddo, the école des beaux-arts is a fancy way of saying "school of beautiful arts." It's a school where people go to learn how to create beautiful things like paintings, sculptures, and even buildings!

This school was started a long long time ago in France where people wanted to make art that was very traditional and beautiful. The teachers at the school were called "masters" and they were really good at making art. The students would watch the masters make art and then try to copy what they were doing.

The école des beaux-arts was really important because it taught people how to make really beautiful art. It was also important because it helped people learn how to make art that was really detailed and precise.

Nowadays, there are many other schools where people can learn how to make art in different ways, but the école des beaux-arts will always be remembered as a place where people went to create beautiful things.
